I tinkered up a python script that scraps job posting site (hh.ru) and sends applications. It takes about 30-40 applications to get an interview invite, and 30-50 interviews to get an offer. based on several job-seeking periods. basically I just run a single command each day to send 200 applications (day limit on hh.ru) to filtered python vacancies and schedule interviews in google spreadsheet with those employers who wrote me. the script is disgustingly dirty even by my low standards of scripting, but it saves me several hours each day of job seeking. it feels like fishing.
